New picture on each visit

Hi everyone

I have a picture at the top section of the main page and I would like
it to be a different picture each time someone visits the site. How can
I do this?

If you're not dying to produce a script yourself, go to e.g.
www.hotscripts.com or www.scriptsearch.com and search for "random
images". You'll get quite a few hits for both server-side and client-side.

Random images may or may not give the vistor a new image each visit. You can
calc the probabililty.

If you want to present a series of images, one for the 1st visit and a
different on each subsequent visit, then it gets complicated. You need some
means of tracking the visitor and recognizing them on their return. A
database and IP addresses sort of works. Cookies kept on the client machine
is more reliable than IP address (those dial up IP's change) but then
visitors that have turned off cookies cannot be tracked.

If the later is what you wanted, research visitor tracking.
